I have the plugs and wires on the way. Wanna try to schedule a mod party so I can find out how big a PITA it is to change plugs on a C5?

What tools should I bring? Everything?

This weekend is out for me. The next 2 weekends are good for me. Or an weekday early evening....it's up to you!

By the way, I don't actually have the parts yet. Just ordered them Monday. Should have them by early next week I hope. I never ordered from the place where I got them (Stealth Performance) so I don't know how quick they ship.

That is correct. Garage is CLOSED! Front Driveway is dug up in areas that needed repair and the back was "paved" with this fine base sand/dirt/small rock. Very very dusty... there is also 15 tons of dirt and rock in a large pile about 15 feet from the garage. I don't think I could get my car out of the garage to get yours in.
